This page shows only Kazuya's Baked Delights for the month of March. There are some items which he made for us to eat at home and some items which he made for his work at the Alaska Coffee Roasting Company. Sometimes he makes items for us here at home and then takes samples in to work and they ask him to make that same item for the shop - for example, the Matcha Cake in Rows 3 and 8! That really makes both of us feel very good. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Here is a Chocolate Mille Crêpe with Caramel Whipped Cream. Kazuya made this for us and took pieces in to work. Surprisingly, they have not yet asked him to make a Mille Crêpe for the shop yet.

Kazuya's boss at work raises Quail in his apartment and he gave Kazuya a dozen fresh Quail eggs. On the same day we happened to buy some fresh shrimp from a local man who sells fresh frozen shrimp right from a fishing boat that operates in Petersburg, Alaska. So, for an appetizer for supper we had fresh hard-boiled Quail eggs and fresh boiled shrimp. Yummy!

Here are three shots - all from a different angle - of a Matcha (Japanese Green Tea Powder) Cake that Kazuya made for us. This is a four-layer Matcha Cake with Matcha Ganache & Matcha Buttercream. He took some pieces of this cake in to work and they had him make some huge ones for selling on St. Patrick's Day (See Rows 8 & 9)

Here are two photos of slices of the Matcha Cake. The darker green is Matcha Ganache and the lighter green is Matcha Buttercream. Very delicious!

Here is one shot of a special order birthday cake that Kazuya made at work. They ask him to do the writing on all of the cakes which require writing.

These three photos show a Matcha Mille Crêpe - made of layers of Crêpe. Between each layer is Matcha Pastry Cream and Whipped Cream with a hint of Kirschwasser. Of course Kazuya took pieces of this in to the shop for them to sample, but they have not yet asked him to make it for sale.

Here are two shots of one of the Matcha Cakes which Kazuya made at work. The design on the top of the cake is in homage to an Irish film "The Wind that Shakes the Barley". This was for St. Patrick's Day.

Here is a piece which is ready for sale. These pieces sold for $6.00 each. The Matcha (Japanese Green Tea Powder) is expensive, so this $6.00 price is $0.50 higher than the price of a normal piece of cake.

Here are some Lemon Curd Pies which Kazuya made at work.

After Kazuya took some of his Macaron to the shop, they adopted his recipe. They made Macaron previous to Kazuya working there, but they like Kazuya's recipe better than the recipe they used before. These are real clover leaves on the top, made for St. Patrick's Day. Of course a Shamrock is only a 3-leaf clover, but people did not seem to mind that some of these were 4-leaf clovers.

Kazuya found these Blood Oranges in the store and bought them - he thought that they might be good for a cake flavoring, but the juice was too strong and a bit bitter, so he didn't use it, but the zest had a strong fragrance and was useful for the topping on this Orange Mille Crêpe, mixed with the zest of some regular navel oranges.

Here is another shot of the Orange Mille Crêpe, then a shot of the cut pieces of it. He used a different recipe for the crepe itself this time so that he could make the crepe thinner and more delicate than before. He also added a bit of Grand Marnier to the filling between the layers. The third shot shows some Éclairs with fresh fruit and crème diplomat. He brought two of these home with him - they were totally decadent.

| End Kazuya's Baked Delights, End March 2017's Photos, Begin Miscellaneous Links |
Here are links to separate web pages - all of them will open in a new window (or new tab). The first link shows some photos of our DVD Collection, an AVI Movie of our Home Theater System and 9 photos of our Sharp Aquos TV. The 2nd link shows our entire DVD collection in DVD Profiler (if you're asking yourself what might be good to rent for the weekend). The DVD's will be sorted by date purchased. You can click on the "Title" Column to sort that way if you desire. The 3rd link shows our entire DVD collection in php DVD Profiler, which is much more sophisticated than the plain vanilla DVD Profiler just above it. The 4th link takes you to a set of pages which show you the FRONT cover-art of our entire DVD collection.
